Then I reset my computer and installed a fresh version of Windows 10 with Ethernet plugged in. After that I downloaded the drivers and installed it with Ethernet and it worked perfectly. At first the LED didn't come on but after I rebooted the computer, it turned on and still works to this day.

Hi Ploopy
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
Error Code 56 is known to occur when your network adapter has conflict with a third-party VPN software. Do you have a third-part VPN software installed? If so, please try to uninstall the software, restart the computer and check again.
